M95.3: Acquired deformity of neck

Acquired deformity of the neck, as the name suggests, is a condition where the natural structure of the neck changes due to certain health factors. Unlike congenital abnormalities, this type of deformity isn't present at birth but develops later in life. It can be a result of various circumstances or conditions such as injury, disease, or medical treatment. For instance, neck surgery, especially for conditions like cancer, may sometimes lead to an acquired deformity. Some common manifestations of this condition may include unnatural curvature, appearance differences, or limited movement and functionality. Discomfort, pain, and potential complications can also occur, depending on the type and extent of the deformity. The deformity may simply affect the physical appearance of the neck or lead to issues with the involved organs and systems, such as the respiratory or digestive systems, if it's severe.
